That's not too surprising, since Microsoft stopped supporting it earlier this year.
Not much point supporting an OS the manufacturer no longer updates in any capacity. Similar to how Firefox no longer supports Windows XP or Vista.
You can still use the old version, they're just not going to bring the newer ones to Windows 7, or fix issues for it.
